An exponential growth in data has coincided with the era of exponential risk - what does this mean for anti-financial crime and risk professionals? With ever increasing amounts of unstructured data and information at their fingertips, how can professional investigators implement sophisticated open-source intelligence (OSINT) investigations to make informed decisions?

In this episode of KYC Decoded, we welcome the CEO of Blackdot Solutions and former forensic investigator, Stuart Clarke. Stuart breaks down what is needed for high-functioning OSINT investigations in an enlightening conversation with host, Alex Pillow. Together they explore questions like:

• How do we extract real insights from unstructured data?
• What is the methodology for running an investigation?
• How can leaders deploy the right balance of data, technology, and human investigators, when conducting OSINT investigations?
• What makes OSINT investigations difficult for practitioners  in the private sector vs public sector?
• What is the impact of advanced OSINT?
• How much of an OSINT investigation can (and should) be automated?
• What are the legal and ethical guardrails around the use of open source data?
